Marine Parade was closed off due to a fire inside a pub on Southend seafront.
Fire crews attended the fire at the Chinnerys pub and music venue on the seafront opposite to Adventure Island.
When crews arrived they reported there was a small fire in a fridge behind the bar serving area.
Crews quickly extinguished the fire.
The cause of the fire was recorded as accidental.
